FHWA has requested these projects be added to the TIP and STIP even though they are part of a direct agreement between the City of Rochester and FHWA and do not pass through New York State. These projects would be added to the TIP and STIP as Illustrative projects and will not impact fiscal constraint or the project delivery scorecard.
